i have got back in the shower cause i couldn't remember if i washed my hair or not. and then after i washed it and started to dry off i ask myself did i wash my body the first time. back in the shower.

You know you have brain fog when you:
-make a list to go grocery shopping (so you don't forget what you need)
-get the store and forget the list in your car (go back to the car)
-loose the list, which was in your hand 5 seconds ago (search frantically on the floor around you, in the shopping cart, in your purse) other shoopers are amused by this for sure
-find the list IN YOUR PURSE! (have no idea how in got in there)
-and finally hand the list to the cashier instead of your credit card

Don't you just love brain fog, funny and frustrating at the same time!

ok ok
you know you have brain fog when you cook kool aide and cauiflower, cherry cauiflower is not good by any means....

you know you have brain fog when you when you are suspose to give the dog a bath instead you bath the cat and wonder why you are all cut up from the clawing.... didn't work to well....

you know you have brain fog when you put your keys in fridge and you can not find then and call the lock smith out to make another key for your car only to find out that an hour after he leaves they are sitting in the fridge, money well spent that day...

Oh my best one yet was the day I went to store thinking I was buying all the items on my grocery list when actually I bought all items I don't even use and none were on the list and had to go back to the store....

A similar thing happened to me. I washed my hair, then after I rinsed it, I washed it again because I forgot that I already did it.

You know you have brain fog when you are driving what you know is a familiar route, but have no idea where you planned to go, so you just keep driving anyway.

...when you are on the way to work and start to panic because you didn't grab your ID from the kitchen counter before you left. Then, as you get to work, you look down, and your ID is around your neck, as it has been the entire time you were stressing out. (Yep, this one is how my morning started!)

Love...faith...joy...hope...strength...Lupus, you have no chance!

Love and hugs,

Diagnosed with SLE, Sjogren's, Reynaud's, Celiac, and arthritis November 2006.

Years ago, my mom was talking on the phone with a friend and they were discussing cordless phones. She went to look at her cordless phone and discovered that it was not in it's base. She walked all over the house looking for the cordless phone, all the while talking to her friend, saying I can't understand where the phone is!!! Of course, the friend finally asked her, What are you talking to ME on???

I just had that happen the other night. I washed my hair, put conditioner in washed the conditioner out, and thought ok, why did I condition my hair first. So I washed and conditioned again, then realized I did wash my hair the first time. Wow I though I was alone on this one. My husband says I am hours and hours of entertainment! It helps lighten the mood when he says that. I am pretty sure I am hours of entertainment at times. I also put my glasses on my head, and forget that they are there for hours. Then look for my glasses and my husband tells me uh honey they are on your head. oops!! I have also had issues driving! Couldn't decide what to do or where to turn. I freaked out and had my hubby drive. So glad to know I am not ALONE!!!
